Without the log, there is nothing we can do to help you.

"It does not work" provides NO clue at all about your problem(s)!

Hello,

I've had similar issues where we tried to SAS Import from PC to Linux. I found that the PC File Server is not very reliable.

As a workaround, First importing the file into Linux, and then importing is more reliable. I first upload the file into Linux, and then run an import code to bring into SAS:

proc import datafile="/LINUX_FILE_PATH_HERE/CREPI.csv"
out=temp.CREPI dbms=CSV replace; run;

Thank you Terho, I want to import file from PC file server to Grid node In the code provided you have not mentioned the pc file server port and server name. and also does import works in this case for csv file..I believe it works only with excel and access files.

To correct the first syntax error use OUT = DatasetName not OUTFILE. = . To fix the second syntax error add OUT = .
